December 2017Approximately 60 studentsWhile working through their Sound Unit of study, students had the chance to learn from a guest speaker. A local entomologist, Wil Hershberger, has been a learning partner of Fountaindale for several years. In the winter of 2017, Mr. Hershberger came in to speak with students about how they use sounds to communicate. Students learned about how sound travels in waves and even had the opportunity to see a visualization of the sounds that insects make.
